our MQSeries infrastructure has one server inside (LAN) and one in our DMZ. Incoming ports for connections are 1414. Outgoing ports are greater than 1023.
This is a wide range for firewall rules. With MQTCPSDRPORT it is possible to limit this range but there is no guarantee that other apps won't select one of these ports.
With MQIPT I have not found any configuration enty for outgoing ports. Is it possible to define outgoing ports with MQIPT?
The best solution will be one port for incoming and one for outgoing connections like a tunnel!

I'm not sure that I understand your question. I thought that the MQIPT accepted input requests and you then told it where these requests would be forwarded to:
The above will accept input on port 1441 of the machine where MQIPT is running and route all of these requests to port 1414 on bower5932.destination.com. Is this what you are asking?

Ok, I will accept requests from port 1441 (incoming port) and route all of them to port 1414. But how can I define the outgoing port for the connection to bower5932.destination.com. By default it will be the next free port >1023
With MQTCPSDRPORT I can define a range of ports used by MQSeries. My question is, can I define a static port for outgoing connections under MQIPT?
